The United Auto Workers union went out on strike against General Motors Sunday night, the first work stoppage in the US auto industry in 12 years. It's the largest strike by any union against any business since the last strike at GM in 2007.
The union's nearly 50,000 hourly fulltime and temporary workers walked out at 31 GM factories and 21 other facilities, spread across nine states, mostly in the center of the country. It's the largest strike by any union against any business since the last strike at GM in 2007.The strike started at 11:59 pm Sunday night.
The UAW has vowed that keeping the plants open would be a key bargaining demand. Late Saturday it said while there had been progress in the talks there was still"significant differences between the parties on wages, health care benefits, temporary employees, job security and profit sharing."GM says its average hourly employee earns about $90,000 per year, not including benefits.
